Re: Newbie question to everybody....PHP

Why would you want a scripting language to sleep, there is no such thing as a loop in a web page (yes, I know it would be possible, but it would lock up a users machine). I know you can set up the apache daemon to run on-demand to conserver resources, but I think you are getting mixed up between compiled and interpreted (aka scripting) languages. neilhighley@freeuk.com ------------------------------------------------------- "Life must be lived as play." - Plato (427 - 347 BC) ----- Original Message ----- From: "r" <r@jumac.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2002 2:25 AM Subject: [PHP] Newbie question to everybody....PHP > Greetings people, > Special greetings to all of you who have helped me in the past. > > As most of you know i am a newbie, I learned a bit of PHP via webmonkey and > a few other places, seeing the power of PHP i decided to convert from Java > servlets and JSP (JSP coz its expensive to host and not many hosting > opportunities) so I baught a book called "The PHP black book". > Anyway, now that the background is done heres my questions: > > 1)How many of you have seriously dug into arrays and has it been important > in your programming? > 1.1)Do you think you could have done the same thing you did with arrays > WITHOUT arrays? > (The reason i ask this is theres a whole chapter dedicated to arrays in the > book & its pretty frustrating) > Last question: > Is ther any function to make the program "sleep" for 10 seconds or so? or > does anybody have a function that does this? > > ANY replies.... good,bad,flames will be welcome. > Cheers, > -Ryan. > > /* You cannot get to the top by sitting on your bottom. */ > > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > >
